So things are starting slowly to get better again. I still miss my unborn child but at least I'm not crying all the time anymore. My BF and I seem to be back on the right track. Hunting season has started so even my limited time with him has gotten even more limited. He's dealing with some drama concerning his ex right now as well and I'm trying my best to support him as best as I can. I have gained a new found interest in my arts and crafts again and I've been spending a lot of time cross stitching and working on projects that I never finished. I find it very therapeutic just losing myself in a project. My biggest annoyance with it is the fact that I'm starting to run low on materials. I'm getting special requests for items which I don't mind as payment offers come with them so I look at it as a bonus, I'm getting paid to do something I actually enjoy doing and I have no dead lines or pressure. I've even started spending more time playing World of Warcraft again. Although I'm not spending as much time on the game as I once did. I think I've found a balance between the game and real life which sadly many people never do. They become addicted or obsessed with the game to the point that they neglect their families and real life obligations. A couple years back a young teen age boy actually lost his life because his parents took away the game and his computer so he ran away from home in the middle of winter and froze to death. It really saddens me and worries me that there are many people out there that would give their lives for a simple game. I myself have lost a relationship with a really great guy when he became so addicted to the game he quit his job and actually refused to leave the house because he would lose playing time. The only time he would turn the game off was when he wanted to have sex. Even when he went to bed, which was normally when I was getting up he'd leave the game running with instructions for me to enter battlegrounds for him and just make sure he didn't time out losing honor. I eventually got tired of it and ended the relationship because I knew the game would always come before me. I'm not really sure why this blog has turned into a rant about World of Warcraft but I do know a certain someone seems to be heading down the same path as that other man and I can only hope he reads this and he realizes that there are so many other wonderful things in life and wakes up before it's too late for him.
